The governments around the world and even private companies are ready to invest a lot of money to develop the 5G research and its role in the Internet of Things. It is certain that a lot of money will be spent on creating the 5G infrastructure and launching it worldwide.
The South Korean government is sure to make early progress as it will not like to lose its domination of the global mobile communication equipment market. This nation was a leader in rolling out 4G and became a home for technological innovation.
Conclusion:

And it is for sure that it is going to help the economy. The introduction of the 5G technology could help in the growth of industries, specially relying on the Internet of Things in the coming years.
